"Living Water"
John 4:5-42
Jesus' conversation with a Samaritan prostitute is perhaps the most unusual of all those reported in the New Testament. Not only did Jews and Samaritans have no dealings with one another, even to accept a drink of water was the epitome of ritual uncleanness for a devout Jew. It is to this foreign, unclean, outcast that Jesus first reveals he is the Messiah.
Jesus promises living water, a drink that will quench one's thirst forever. The woman is all in. "Give me this water!" she urges. And everything changes for her.
Are we ready for this living water? How might we be changed? Are we willing?
